WOYWW #193

Hey y'all! It's that time again, What's on your workdesk? Wednesday. Wanna know what it's about? Check with the dear and fabulous Julia over at Stamping Ground and see more desks there, too. :) I have a few pictures to show today. One is my desk, a few of what I've made recently, one of how I store my dies/nesties and one in response to Brigita's question about what I use to hang my punches on my pegboard. So, without further ado:

So there's the desk...you can see I've finally gotten to play with my new stamps from Australia! The sets are so awesome and I have mixed and matched elements from almost every one in a card I'm still working on, but I think it's looking great so far. :) Next is a card I made last week, but forgot to picture:

It says, "It's never too late to live Happily Ever After", which I think is so true and I'll probably turn this into some wall art of some sorts. I made the skirt stand out, which you can't see, but anyways. And I'm not that great at coloring, either. It didn't help that it was just a printed image on regular paper so it didn't respond very well to the water-coloring using distress inks. But I couldn't wait to get the actual stamps to start playing! They are here now and a few pics down you can see what I've done with them.

That's one of the cards from the stack of 100. This is one of the most complete ones and its springy so I thought I would share it today. :) Next is the actual stamps(Kanban) stamped with archival ink on watercolor paper and partially colored with distress inks and a small paintbrush. Two will be finished and then fussy cut to stand out or be the focal piece on a wedding anniversary card I'm supposed to have done this weekend.

Here is how I store my metal dies. On the same sheet they came on! I like having the front of the package for the image. I cut up some magnetic sheets and sticky taped them down on the back. I got the magnetic sheets from the Dollar Tree! They had some big sheets, 8"x14"(labeled Clever Magnet Floor Vent Covers), that I got for a dollar each. Each one cut up into several sections for the backs of the packages. Then I just store them all together in that creamy colored container right there.

Here is a close-up of how I store my MS punches. I took a few out of their holders so you could see the pieces better. They are actually the same piece, just one is spread apart because I had more room there.

So, that's that this week. Hope you've enjoyed your peek and can leave me a comment with your WOYWW # so I can visit you back! :)
